Neutrals always have their place, but decorating your home with bold features can really bring it to life. I wanted my entryway to pop so I decided to go daring with black and white stripes on the foyer walls.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Follow the steps below to learn how you can paint your own walls with stripes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What you will need:</div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Drop cloth</li>
<li>Paint brush</li>
<li>Paint roller</li>
<li>6' level</li>
<li>Pencil</li>
<li>Painters tape</li>
<li>Eggshell white paint (White Dove OC-17 | Benjamin Moore)</li>
<li>Semi gloss black paint</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Step One - Prep and Paint</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use a damp cloth to wipe down walls. Paint the base coat and let dry for 24-48 hours. I used Benjamin Moore White Dove OC-17 for my white paint</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
Step Two- Tape it up!</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Measure your wall and decide on how wide you want your stripes to be and the placement of them. I decided it would be best to start off in the corner with 5" stripes. Stripes should be between 4" and 12" wide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg52iV8C8mXhLaluKM6cw1s4vrA93ZaM6YJYcT9ij2gIa8D4mP38cQ6s4EKJmgGzR-2h_hAcfLEsE1BlOf6PwcxdOYwge1rgY8uZB4OX2sJkTYiOfhzyI45hvfhh9EJ0waZkbf_6v7njMXz/s1600/IMG_20190308_135717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg52iV8C8mXhLaluKM6cw1s4vrA93ZaM6YJYcT9ij2gIa8D4mP38cQ6s4EKJmgGzR-2h_hAcfLEsE1BlOf6PwcxdOYwge1rgY8uZB4OX2sJkTYiOfhzyI45hvfhh9EJ0waZkbf_6v7njMXz/s400/IMG_20190308_135717.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted the first stripe to be white, so I measured 5" and made a pencil mark. I then used a 6' level to draw a straight pencil line up the wall. I then taped over the pencil mark. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPyEKgP7LuqqATKAdCnmbN5mWGLfDIohi3vbKftuQW2SzWtfrSwuL0lZwvONCulI8Hz1KeY8V4Ddam4NF8di3CicTa85xH14oTwn0H2Ve3tSI9wj5h6aqUqICdiV_M3lg6ZppqaHN8pkR4/s1600/IMG_20190308_150401.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPyEKgP7LuqqATKAdCnmbN5mWGLfDIohi3vbKftuQW2SzWtfrSwuL0lZwvONCulI8Hz1KeY8V4Ddam4NF8di3CicTa85xH14oTwn0H2Ve3tSI9wj5h6aqUqICdiV_M3lg6ZppqaHN8pkR4/s400/IMG_20190308_150401.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
M<span style="text-align: left;">ake sure that the tape is on the correct side of the line. Press firmly on the tape to seal it. </span>This is not an easy task! It took me 2 days to tape up my walls. You WILL need patience. </div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Step 3 - Paint the Tape with White Paint</span></h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for the part that most people skip - I think this is the most important part as well. Use a paint brush to paint <span style="text-align: left;">inside of the boundaries where the black stripe will be. I used my WHITE paint and painted right along the inner edges of both pieces of tape. The white paint will fill in all the unsealed areas and insure that you have a perfectly straight line. Let dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzt03zHkoQcjBGODyKnL48Bm-v0e5H7yfWZN1M3C3-SFaTQfIcsCQjrYdQVMtPjizMfCfa_gJUHmu8gxXqT1X8IDf8YzPkunvUVjN7wbTZgpoYmEuxqmEWA2Z39YR7eS7t6pLnJ6XnzIQc/s1600/IMG_20190308_171855.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzt03zHkoQcjBGODyKnL48Bm-v0e5H7yfWZN1M3C3-SFaTQfIcsCQjrYdQVMtPjizMfCfa_gJUHmu8gxXqT1X8IDf8YzPkunvUVjN7wbTZgpoYmEuxqmEWA2Z39YR7eS7t6pLnJ6XnzIQc/s400/IMG_20190308_171855.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</h4>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 4 - Paint it Black</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now its finally time to paint the stripes black! Use a small roller to paint inside all the tape lines. Use a brush near the ceilings and baseboards. Let dry overnight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhovmu0bq9QgwQvL_KrJsnM05G6kts_k0gEMe2L6zfVy8kGTdwIv08YMYnlxNp13ieACcka0Iu86IKWFIrwJUbLWvibJM-4pd-2wq73EHO3VQy-klmlYatHPJQqvRzlP70mTTBFWAZhyek8/s1600/IMG_20190309_160958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhovmu0bq9QgwQvL_KrJsnM05G6kts_k0gEMe2L6zfVy8kGTdwIv08YMYnlxNp13ieACcka0Iu86IKWFIrwJUbLWvibJM-4pd-2wq73EHO3VQy-klmlYatHPJQqvRzlP70mTTBFWAZhyek8/s400/IMG_20190309_160958.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</h4>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 5 - Time to peel!</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the most rewarding part. Peel off the tape and enjoy! </div>

Fourth of July is really one of my favorite holidays. What better way to celebrate our independence than to deck out your home with red, white and blue and barbeque with friends and family? I was on Fox 8 New Orleans this morning showing how to make this fun DIY. Check out the instructions below to make your own festive DIY concrete flower pots.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6u3heZiFIXOhoee8YHEmeJ7xpq8fzlKcLebwSpxHHHzEPc_9JVWO5kGXciPXziZ0S5o-BpGJQf-tMb3kHksH6M-mAhvRbE1c-Eqh6t_FH1AxVtEGsR4Z6QSLhz2nPC5WLNCvrptN8ieTj/s1600/20160626_180409+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6u3heZiFIXOhoee8YHEmeJ7xpq8fzlKcLebwSpxHHHzEPc_9JVWO5kGXciPXziZ0S5o-BpGJQf-tMb3kHksH6M-mAhvRbE1c-Eqh6t_FH1AxVtEGsR4Z6QSLhz2nPC5WLNCvrptN8ieTj/s400/20160626_180409+%25281%2529.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
You would think that concrete pots are difficult to make, but they really aren’t. I’d say they are more heavy then difficult to make! Start off with a sheet of foam core (you can find it in any arts and crafts store). You can make 3 pots out of one sheet of foam core, depending on the size of pots you would like to make. You can even get creative and make different shapes if you don’t want to make a cube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Cut foam core into one large rectangle – this one is 5 inches by 20 inches. That measurement will give us 4 squares within this rectangle – use your exacto knife to cut out the squares but make sure you don’t cut through the whole way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Bend the foam core and tape it together. Place another cut out 5x5 square on the bottom. Make sure to use a lot of tape for stability. Now we have a cube (with an open top)!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpMuYMOQJPX3cG0xZ5uFtad9a60wYPxwtGbhtcIS_mU669YlttFI-4VhKjSjoanSgd0TVkw88Y5ci1AJyV9oW77P5cXn7DxLKuxcpVDAH8qf8HjteCpr-_RxVe1gWfTBdyZVVoj1NM4QG/s1600/20160626_142939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjpMuYMOQJPX3cG0xZ5uFtad9a60wYPxwtGbhtcIS_mU669YlttFI-4VhKjSjoanSgd0TVkw88Y5ci1AJyV9oW77P5cXn7DxLKuxcpVDAH8qf8HjteCpr-_RxVe1gWfTBdyZVVoj1NM4QG/s400/20160626_142939.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
Now we can make our pot a little more interesting. My pots have star shapes molded into them for 4th of July, but you can really make any shape you’d like, get creative. After you cut out your star, you can use hot glue to adhere it to the inside of your cube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Now our mold is done, we are ready for concrete! In a separate container, mix concrete according to instructions on the bag. I used concrete with aggregate in it, that’s just small stones, because I wanted a rough look to my pots. But if you want a smoother finish, you can use concrete without the stones.</div>

Fill the the cube up an inch with concrete and then place a cup or flower pot inside to create your planting space. I used small standard sized flower pots because I can easy switch my plants out if they die or if I’m sick of them. The pots I used have drainage holes in them, so I needed to make a barrier so that the concrete doesn’t seep into my pot when it’s drying. I just used tape to seal them off. Now the drainage holes where there because the plant needs rain or water to drain out so that if doesn’t get root rot. So now we need to make drainage holes for our concrete pot. All you have to do is cut small holes in the tape and then push chop sticks into the pot and concrete. Now that we addressed drainage, we can fill concrete around the rest of the pot. Pack it tightly.<br />

You can also tap cube to get rid of air bubbles. Let dry for 24 hours and then peel off foam core. Then you’ll have something like this!</div>

Your plant choice will be important because of the size of the inside of the pot. I find that succulents or cactuses live well in small areas like this.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Draw out a 4 leaf clover shape onto a piece of plywood. You can either do this free hand or use a stencil. </span><br />
<br />

Even though this is a St. Patrick's Day DIY, you can take this same concept and easily make an Easter DIY with the same steps. Instead of a clover, you can draw a bunny shape or even a basket.<br />
<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">Use a jig saw to cut out the shape. If you are not comfortable using a jig saw or if you don’t own one, you can cut a shape out of foam core instead, using an exacto knife. </span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn45BviKJGzIR24D42ZHDewL0kk-ZzeSiCwYm6OrwDOtnZTdlMjClhAqaVCM6ub-Mly-EBv0d6dQZudsnvjutpjxQAUaql7jv8y3uPvwBWePSvNIkhrQl4JU7VKkn1E6keuXQUd2UHmnOs/s1600/20160308_171020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn45BviKJGzIR24D42ZHDewL0kk-ZzeSiCwYm6OrwDOtnZTdlMjClhAqaVCM6ub-Mly-EBv0d6dQZudsnvjutpjxQAUaql7jv8y3uPvwBWePSvNIkhrQl4JU7VKkn1E6keuXQUd2UHmnOs/s400/20160308_171020.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: left;">Now that your shape is cut out, we can cover the front with moss. You can buy sheets of moss at any craft store.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Flip the moss over and trace the 4 leaf clover shape onto it.<br />
Use hot glue to glue the moss onto the front of the plywood. Don’t worry about cutting multiple pieces out of the moss. The seams will not show when you are done.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VQ02RZhV0jPAoQm6L3B2bGVpOQI-5372cUM3MeyWmkbej6mjz-K1UPMkvZPZp9nUW297dXsXmn2jrjw-0LaDWw7OzWoxMoEg2MNsT9Vo2-EgJJBOK747qZ6AQwvLX7Pj3Rml7Z5HK8R2/s1600/20160309_082602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-VQ02RZhV0jPAoQm6L3B2bGVpOQI-5372cUM3MeyWmkbej6mjz-K1UPMkvZPZp9nUW297dXsXmn2jrjw-0LaDWw7OzWoxMoEg2MNsT9Vo2-EgJJBOK747qZ6AQwvLX7Pj3Rml7Z5HK8R2/s400/20160309_082602.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<span style="text-align: left;"> </span>After you glued on all the moss, turn it around and screw in these eye hooks. This is how the clover will hang from your door or wall. Thread a ribbon through and tie.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKz8eg8FOTvsxkRcg7BURWiPoEgSCcwVKfGaPJVnjAvq8Ba5U2SD5-k_L2bSuY2pgBvhNDuVLAxwikLXJlNBO_hyphenhyphen8gjpDGKYF4HaI8U50doQ0qvAHIbCKS1bp_3d0mJk-8LJs8nQyCbPy/s1600/20160309_082605.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKz8eg8FOTvsxkRcg7BURWiPoEgSCcwVKfGaPJVnjAvq8Ba5U2SD5-k_L2bSuY2pgBvhNDuVLAxwikLXJlNBO_hyphenhyphen8gjpDGKYF4HaI8U50doQ0qvAHIbCKS1bp_3d0mJk-8LJs8nQyCbPy/s400/20160309_082605.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>

Now you can start gluing Mardi Gras beads onto your masterpiece. Use hot glue to adhere beads on all the edges. I like to use hot glue in the beginning because it dry quickly, although I would not use it for the whole project because it doesn't hold as well as other glues. You can use any clear drying glue to adhere the rest of the beads onto the fleur de lis.</div>

I love ugly Christmas sweaters that make a pop culture reference. Does Santa’s pose look familiar? Kim Kardashian recently did a photo shoot that recreated one of Jean-Paul Goude photographs from the 60’s. But instead of champagne, of course Santa is balancing a glass of milk on his bum!<br />

Red Dress Run is all about dressing up, having fun and donating to charity. The more you save on your outfit, the more you can donate to charity! You can easily go out and purchase a red dress, BUT just like white dresses during White Linen Night, cost effective red outfits are sometimes hard to come by. DIY to the rescue! Check out my 7 Red Dress Run Essentials with DIY tutorials for the perfect Red Dress Run Outfit.<br />

1. DIY Mask</h3>
<br />
With all the festivals and events we have in New Orleans; every New Orleanian should know how to make a mask! This Red Dress Run project can be used for other Holidays like Halloween and Mardi Gras, just paint and embellish with different colors.<br />
<br />
Check out how to make your own DIY mask at this <a href="http://nadiasdiyprojects.blogspot.com/2015/08/every-new-orleanian-should-know-how-to.html">LINK</a><br />

2. DIY Lettered Tank top</h3>
Use fabric spray paint to create your own one-of-a-kind design. I found a simple red tank top at Old Navy that was on clearance for $1.50, can't get better than that!<br />

3. Red Boa</h3>
Another New Orleans essential! I have not gone one Mardi Gras without catching 2 or 3 of these. A boa is a great way to create movement for your costume.<br />
For a different look, tie the ends of your boa together to create a circle. Now it won't slip off!<br />

Long Socks</h3>
No tutu is complete without some long socks! Buy patterned socks to make your outfit more interesting!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
6. Red Sneakers </h3>
<div>
These sneakers were $14 at Old Navy! If you don't want to buy new shoes, you can also use some red fabric paint on some old sneakers that you already own.</div>

7. DIY Felt Tumbler Sleeve</h3>
<br />
<br />
This Red Dress Run project is more for the after party. I found these cute "I Heart My Dog" tumblers at Michael's for a dollar! Since I don't have a dog, I decided to make a felt sleeve to hide the wording.<br />

Why buy a tutu when you can make one?!<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>6 yards of tulle from a 54" bolt</li>
<li>Elastic ribbon</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
</ul>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wrap the elastic around your waist and knot the end. Now tie the elastic around the back of a chair. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut the tulle into strips and knot it onto the elastic band. Pull tulle tight and slide it to the side. Repeat tying and cutting tulle until you have a full tutu.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you want to be lazy and save time, you can purchase tulle on a smaller roll, that way you won't have to cut into strips.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Red Dress Run is all about dressing up, having fun and donating to charity. The more you save on your outfit, the more you can donate to charity!<br />
I found a simple red tank top at Old Navy that was on clearance for $1.50, can't get better than that! I already had all the other supplies from previous projects. So this project only costed $1.50!!<br />
What you will need:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Tank top or T shirt</li>
<li>Fabric spray paint</li>
<li>Puff paint</li>
<li>Printer/paper</li>
<li>Exacto knife </li>
<li>Fabric pins</li>
<li>Cardboard </li>
</ul>

I absolutely ADORE my new wreath! I have been slowly revamping our front porch, starting by building some new planters from fence picket wood (check out my planter tutorial <a href="http://nadiasdiyprojects.blogspot.com/2015/06/diy-fern-planters.html?spref=fb">HERE</a>). I then decided that our door needed a new summery wreath to go with our new planters. Follow the tutorial below to make your own lemon wreath!</div>

What you will need:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Grapevine wreath</li>
<li>A few sprigs of faux flowers (I bought cherry blossom and forsythia blooms at Michaels)</li>
<li>Faux lemons - I bought two different sizes.</li>
<li>Hot glue gun/glue</li>
</ul>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out by laying the grapevine wreath on the floor and placing the lemons and flowers in different locations to see which way I liked better. I ended up going with an asymmetrical look (photo on the left).</div>

I used to have smaller pots next to our front door that looked so cluttered. I decided that two large planters on either side of our front door would be a good solution to create a clean look. I couldn't find anything to buy that was tall enough, so I decided to make my own! </div>

What you will need to buy at the store:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>(12) pressure-treated pine fence pickets (5/8 in. x 5-1/2 in. x 6 ft). After looking at wood at my local home improvement store, I decided to go with the economical route and use treated fence picket wood. It was also on sale for $1.25 a piece! </li>
<li>(4) #1 Pressure-Treated Lumber (2 in. x 2 in. x 8 ft)</li>
<li>(7) Pressure-Treated Fill-It Strip (8ft)</li>
<li>(2) Pressure-Treated Board (1 in. x 2 in. x 8 ft)</li>
<li>(2) boxes of 1-5/8 in. White All Purpose Screws</li>
<li>Sand paper (I already had some)</li>
<li>General tools like an electric screwdriver, saw, sander, measuring tape, nail gun, ruler, jig saw</li>
<li>Paint/Stain (I actually used espresso powder to stain my planters!)</li>
<li>Spray paint primer. </li>
<li>Paint roller or brush</li>
<li>Wood filler</li>
</ul>

The rendering shows that you can layout the wood boards side by side and figure out where to cut. My recommendation would be so start with measuring out 13.5" on the top (red line in photo) and 11" on the bottom (blue line). You can then draw straight lines to connect them (yellow lines).</div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">I was thrilled to have the Meredith Vieira Show contact me about showing this project on one of their segments. I thought I would repost my blog post for easy viewing. </span></div>

We bought our house about 4 years ago and ever since, we have slowly been renovating the space. Although I love how the living room and kitchen turned out, I could never decide what to do with an awkward wall that was situated between the two open-plan spaces. I finally decided that a built-in would solve the issue, while also providing storage and a place to display decorative items. </div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #444444; font-family: Arvo; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">

My next thing was figuring out how to built the built-ins without paying the built-in price. After scouring the internet, I saw that others have used IKEA furniture and transformed them into custom pieces (it's called IKEA hacking). The space where I wanted the built-ins to go was 7 feet width and 12 inches deep with a ceiling height of 8 feet. Below is our shopping list from IKEA and the hardware store. I have also provided step-by-step instructions on how you can make your own built-ins.</div>

We decided to make a trip out of it, had an awesome time and then finished it off by visiting IKEA. The above picture is of some of our supplies. What a mess!</span></div>

It is a lot easier to carry a plate around. I didn't want to ruin the plate so I wrapped it with plastic wrap.

I seem to move my art and furniture around A LOT! This week I decided that I needed to move some picture frames to a reading corner. It seems like a simple enough project, but creating a symmetrical frame design can be difficult.<br />
<br />
What you will need to hang art accurately:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>All the art/frames you will be hanging</li>
<li>Tracing paper or any other rolled paper like wrapping or wax paper</li>
<li>Measuring tape</li>
<li>Pen/pencil</li>
<li>Picture hanger/nail</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

Start off by setting up your furniture and deciding how far from the floor you would like to hang your frames. I like to hang frames and art so that the middle of the piece is eye level. The rules are a little different when hanging gallery walls or multiple pieces. This tutorial will show you the easy way to figure out where to make a hole in your wall. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now that you know approximately where you want your frames, it's easier to decide how much spacing you want between each piece. I had 1 1/2 inch spacing for this project.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lay out tracing paper and tape the sides together if you need a larger sheet. Set up your frames and measure the spacing so that they are all symmetrical. </div>
<br />

After all the frames are exactly where you need them, Use a pen to trace around each piece. </div>
<br />

<h3>
1. Mix and matched patterns and colors </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgvN9Owdq2NtmUblSoIpLLeqPf9VdMUe5W7olFEajn6Rx3P0CRCJuzzC0E2ExuzevUmMBHiRrC5qFq-3cNbeP1TA-p6RlYl6KYG4oZ3M1cbEOx7JHui10jvO1Pn0hed__fpZTYeHOiOtf/s1600/IMG_3461.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgvN9Owdq2NtmUblSoIpLLeqPf9VdMUe5W7olFEajn6Rx3P0CRCJuzzC0E2ExuzevUmMBHiRrC5qFq-3cNbeP1TA-p6RlYl6KYG4oZ3M1cbEOx7JHui10jvO1Pn0hed__fpZTYeHOiOtf/s320/IMG_3461.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Don't worry if you don’t have a set of 12 matching place settings. You can see here that I mix and matched patterns and colors of dishware that I already had. You can use 2 sets of dishes, just alternate colors for a cohesive design.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
2. Use your own sense of style</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaBY3M_mdlHPtsNt_UKwIUfo0tKhcBZxAv2aw_fFNDzVlfRgvHXmorNPIMsYup9TfBtt-gnRCcLmsX5rKfQVk-xT7nMhWYGa2rfKiWKG__MbAc3fBYOhaZrB9GYgOZCFf997cUNulF11G/s1600/20141112_111354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRaBY3M_mdlHPtsNt_UKwIUfo0tKhcBZxAv2aw_fFNDzVlfRgvHXmorNPIMsYup9TfBtt-gnRCcLmsX5rKfQVk-xT7nMhWYGa2rfKiWKG__MbAc3fBYOhaZrB9GYgOZCFf997cUNulF11G/s400/20141112_111354.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
My second tip which relates to mixing and matching is to use your own sense of style. You don't have to use traditional color schemes. It's your home, family and friends. They already know your style – decorate with colors you like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
3. Use natural elements in your table setting</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbDkvqBHibwyHau1Ilf1WRdRdSlOt2ipEounGb_zdsoJ33eMfIt9r7n2g2aoWcI5FmFt1JQqrPHur-019ESbBIUdQ-tcv0OQxrG-MIQ1sYAY8TCwSIl85-LmhD0LBN2dMaIW3z0dAAyNI/s1600/20141112_111406.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPbDkvqBHibwyHau1Ilf1WRdRdSlOt2ipEounGb_zdsoJ33eMfIt9r7n2g2aoWcI5FmFt1JQqrPHur-019ESbBIUdQ-tcv0OQxrG-MIQ1sYAY8TCwSIl85-LmhD0LBN2dMaIW3z0dAAyNI/s320/20141112_111406.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
My third tip is to use natural elements in your table setting. Don't be afraid to go in your backyard and find items like these pinecones.<br />
<br />
These pincone name tags are such easy DIYs for your dining table. Start off by cleaning your pine cones. I did this by soaking them in warm water and vinegar. After you let them dry, you can then add a name tag or a tea light candle.<br />
<br />
<h3>
4. Create mood lighting </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Create mood lighting by using warm colored light bulbs in your chandelier. You can also use candles. Just remember to use unscented candles so that they don’t fight with the smells of your dinner</div>
